Hi,

I have a Ryobi 1/4 sheet square sander. I bought it just a week ago.
The first few days it worked fine but now the sandpaper start sliding
off sideways almost immediately after I put a new sheet on. I tried
cleaning it , but nothing seems to help.
Doe anybody have any suggestions?

Contact the manufacturer. If there is a design fault, you should get
some kind of fix or suggestion. I have a 1/4 sheet Black and Decker
palm sander, still going strong after 15 years of use. My Porter
Cable random orbit sander kept blowing off its dust canister, but
after contacting Porter Cable, they sent me a new canister (new
corrected design) that has stayed put. I have a Ryobi belt sander
that has given good service for over 9 years.
